Joe Armstrong's GOTO 2018 talk contrasts the problems computer scientists study with the problems users have. He revisits forgotten great ideas such as tuple spaces, flow-based programming, Xanadu and Unix pipes, with anecdotes.
Why HN recommends it: HN calls it a superb, funny and engaging talk, and links it often after Armstrong's death as one of his best.
